"Mr President, I want to address my comments to Mr Van Rompuy as one chairman to another.
I have noted, as chairman of the Committee on the Internal Market, that the one thing that is clearly absent from the targets are any targets for the Member States to complete the internal market, which should be the centre-piece of economic reform and growth.
There are a few warm words about reducing bottlenecks, but I notice that the great flagship initiatives we heard about have been relegated almost to the bottom of Mr Van Rompuy’s list. They have sunk almost without trace in this communiqué.
Why are we not focusing on things that we can actually get a grip on? We have a framework of rules in place. We are working on implementing those, which I am pleased about. However, I once again agree with my friend Mrs Berès: how about some competition between our institutions? My committee is taking more political action on completing the internal market than anything we have seen here today or anything we have heard from the Council.
I would invite Mr Van Rompuy to come and meet my committee and to come and talk about some of our initiatives. We have Mr Monti’s report coming, and there will be a report from my committee. Let us compete together, but for heaven’s sake let us get to grips with something on which we can really deliver, instead of having a whole lot of vague targets, which is what I see in this proposal."@en1
